EU261 can protect passengers flying from Europe to the United States, including tourists, business travelers and families.
Flights leaving EU airports are a core category of EU261 coverage.
The payment is set by law and does not depend on ticket price.
Submit the route and delay information and we will assess the claim.
For covered routes, EU261 gives passengers rights to care and fixed compensation after qualifying disruption. The fact that you live in the United States does not remove those rights.
A 3+ hour arrival delay, technical airline issue, or short-notice cancellation can be a strong starting point. Weather, air traffic control and security disruption require more review.
The legal amount is set in euros, but US passengers may receive the converted value depending on payment method.
Yes. You do not need to still be in Europe to start a claim.
Time limits vary by country and route. The checker asks for the flight date so we can review it.
Tell us your route, date and delay length and we will review the basics.
